Vitoria Stone Fair continues to draw an international audience
Since the second event was established in Vitória, however, it has truly become an international event, as Brazil’s standing in the world stone sector has continued to rise by leaps and bounds - particularly for the American market. The most recent edition took place from February 19 to 22 at the Carapina Expo Center in Serra - just on the outskirts of Vitória and where many major stoneworking plants are present.
For the past several years, Brazil has been the leading exporter of granite to the U.S. Last year, the U.S. brought in a projected total of just under $540 million worth of Brazilian granite, far more than any other nation. And with this in mind, Brazilian stone suppliers eagerly await U.S. importers at the Vitória Stone Fair, using the event as a platform to introduce new materials to the marketplace.
